My grandparents are downsizing there collections of turds and gold and they want their homemade movies archived. I was thinking of a component capture card with obs. What would be a good capture card or a better way to archive?

UPDATE 1: So, my DVD vhs combo was a total piece of shit and ate my Addams family Vhs tape!!! I found a vhs player that works and looks pretty decent.

I bought a black magic intensity pro capture card (BMDPCB41G1) but I’m struggling to get the driver to recognize the card, I tried win10 but I’m gonna try Ubuntu and an older 4th gen intel motherboard. This is all I have for now, any help would be cool.

      I’ve used exactly this device and a (believe it or not) BNIB VHS player the MIL had stashed at the back of the closet, to digitize some old family videos. Worked very well, once I figured out how to take due care with the cabling, so as not to introduce pops or crackles into the audio.
